22-it really hurt
After eating a lot, Vaidehi and Gayatri were walking together, smiling and chatting happily. Suddenly, a group of boys blocked their way. The one who seemed to be the leader looked at Vaidehi in surprise and said,
“Vaidehi… you’re here?”
Hearing this, Vaidehi looked up, startled. In front of her stood Sandy and his friends.
She instantly remembered what had happened earlier that afternoon—the huge scene, the humiliation… and the slap she had received. Slowly, she touched her cheek; the pain was still there. For a moment, her eyes closed as if she was reliving that moment.
But then she composed herself, clenched her fists, and said firmly,
“Sandy, move aside. We need to go. There has already been enough drama because of you.”
Hearing this, Sandy stepped closer to her and mocked,
“So you got married… and didn’t even tell anyone? And that too, to your own professor? Don’t you feel ashamed marrying a college professor?”
Vaidehi was stunned. She had no words to respond.
Before she could say anything, Gayatri spoke up angrily,
“How dare you interfere in our personal lives? Whether she gets married or not, and to whom—that’s her choice, not yours!
Who do you think you are to question her?
Because of you, such a huge scene was created, she got slapped… and I almost got suspended!”
Gayatri’s words made Sandy furious. He stepped forward, grabbed her hand tightly, and said,
“You don’t need to interfere between us. Anyway, I know girls like you very well… and I don’t talk to girls like you.”
Hearing this, Gayatri was left speechless.
Before she could react—
Slap!
A loud sound echoed as a strong slap landed on Sandy’s face.Seeing this, the rest of the boys got angry and started moving toward them. One of them said,
“You hit our friend? How dare you! Who do you think you both are?”
Hearing this, Vaidehi adjusted the strap of her kurti and said angrily,
“Come on then, let’s fight. I’ve seen plenty of guys like you. It’s been a while—my hands were itching anyway.”
Gayatri was shocked listening to her. She couldn’t understand what Vaidehi was saying. It was the first time she had seen this side of her.
Meanwhile, hearing Vaidehi’s words, Sandy said angrily,
“I proposed to you. I gave you a chance… but girls like you don’t deserve it. Today, I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”
Saying this, Sandy stepped forward and grabbed both of Vaidehi’s wrists, as if he was about to forcefully kiss her—
But the very next moment—
Vaidehi quickly lifted her leg and kicked him hard in the stomach, then twisted his arm behind his back.
Seeing this, another boy rushed toward her, but she immediately kicked him in the stomach too, knocking him to the ground.
The rest of the boys were stunned for a moment.
Then they thought, “She’s just a delicate girl—what can she really do?” and the remaining three moved toward her.
Seeing this, Vaidehi shouted,
“Gayatri! Punch them! I can’t handle everyone alone—I need your help!”
Gayatri, panicking, said,
“I… how?”
Vaidehi snapped back,
“I’m just wasting time explaining this to you!”
Saying that, she grabbed the third boy by the neck and twisted him hard. A sharp cracking sound was clearly heard.
Hearing this, Gayatri immediately covered her ears.
Now Sandy and three boys were lying on the ground. One of them was in very bad condition—his bone seemed broken, and he was bleeding. The fourth boy got scared after seeing all this. He had never imagined that a girl who looked so delicate could do this to them.
Terrified, he screamed and ran away from there.
Seeing this, Gayatri laughed and said,
“Vaidehi… I can’t believe this—you actually know how to fight!”
Vaidehi picked up her purse and started putting her things back in it as she said,
“I’ve won a pink belt in karate twice… and I’ve also been a boxing champion three times.”
She finished gathering her scattered belongings and stood up.
Gayatri came closer and said,
“Seriously… there’s still so much I don’t know about you. Three months is definitely not enough to understand you.”
Vaidehi took a deep breath and said,
“You know… when they slapped me in front of everyone, it hurt a lot. But not because of the pain… I’ve been slapped many times before. My mom used to hit me a lot… she used to torture me. My own mother… but back then, it didn’t affect me this much.
But today… when they hit me this afternoon—it really hurt.
”Wiping her tears, she continued,
“And then… he showed me a lot of care too. He didn’t say sorry, but he showed it.
He believes more in actions than words. He even hurt himself…
he was trying to break his own hand, just because he had slapped me. ”
She paused for a moment and then said softly,
“I don’t know what he feels for me… but in my heart, there’s both love and anger for him. A lot of anger.”
Saying this, she stood up and walked closer to Gayatri.
“You know… the most pain comes when the person we love the most is the one who hurts us. What others say doesn’t really matter… but when that one person does it, it hurts a lot.”
Hearing her, Gayatri was stunned. She said,
“This is the first time I’ve seen you talk like this… and fight like that. You’re really different. You’ve been hiding so much inside you.”
Vaidehi just gave a small smile and said,
“Forget all that… let’s go home. It’s already late. The food is digested anyway… I’m hungry again. Come on, let’s eat something and then leave.”
They were just about to go when suddenly police vehicles arrived and stopped there. Along with them, the boy who had run away earlier also came back. Behind them, two luxurious Mercedes cars pulled up as well.
Vaidehi quietly watched everything.
Then, a woman stepped out of one of the Mercedes. She was wearing a royal blue Banarasi saree, her hair neatly tied in a bun, and a diamond choker around her neck. She looked extremely elegant and powerful.
She walked straight toward Vaidehi in anger, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her forward.
“How dare you do this to my son? You worthless girl!”
Saying this, she raised her hand to slap her—But Vaidehi immediately caught her hand, slightly twisting it, and said through clenched teeth,
“Aunty… your bone might break. Stay away from me.”
The woman was completely shocked. She couldn’t believe that a girl who looked so delicate could hold her wrist with such strength… and could do this to her son and his friends.
Gayatri, watching all this, was stunned from the inside.
She thought to herself,
“She stopped her so easily… if she wanted, she could’ve stopped that slap too when the professor hit her.
Does that mean she let herself get slapped on purpose?
Even after being so strong, how could she allow something like that to happen to her? ”
A few hours later…
Two black bikes were speeding down the highway. The riders’ faces were hidden behind helmets, but their energy and intensity were obvious.
After a while, both bikes stopped outside a deserted restaurant. They looked around—the place was in a mess, as if some major chaos had happened there just a few hours ago.
One of the riders got off his bike and removed his helmet—it was Samrat. Sitam got down from the other bike, took off his helmet, looked around, and said,
“Looks like a storm passed through here.”
Samrat took out his phone, but the call wasn’t going through. Frustrated, he put it back in his pocket and walked straight into the restaurant. Sitam followed him inside.
The entire restaurant was empty… no one was in sight.
Just then, Samrat’s phone rang again.
He looked at the screen—it was a call from the police station.A little later… at the police station
Samrat got off his bike, helmet in hand, and hurried inside. The moment he saw the scene, his anger almost exploded—
Vaidehi was standing quietly with her head lowered, while a lady inspector was shouting at her.
Seeing this, Samrat immediately walked forward and, without thinking, pulled Vaidehi into his arms.
Vaidehi instantly leaned into his chest—as if someone drowning had finally found support.
Worried, Samrat asked,
“Are you okay, jaan? How did you get hurt?”
Vaidehi just looked at him with blank eyes.
Just then, the lady inspector stepped forward and said,
“I’ll tell you how she got hurt. Your wife has beaten up four boys very badly. Their condition is so serious that they had to be admitted to the hospital.”
Hearing this, Samrat was shocked. He looked at Vaidehi—
and she quietly lowered her head.
But suddenly, Vaidehi jerked his hand away angrily and said,
“I didn’t do anything on purpose! He was forcing himself on me and Gayatri… he called Gayatri characterless, and then with me too…”
That was enough to ignite Samrat’s anger. Earlier, he had shown mercy and let Sandy go, but now it felt like Sandy didn’t want to live anymore. Deep inside, Samrat decided—very soon, he would remove him from this world.
The lady inspector looked surprised and said,
“I asked you earlier why you hit them… why didn’t you say all this then?”
Vaidehi slowly intertwined her fingers and replied,
“Because I was waiting for my husband… so he could hear it himself. Anyway, he’s used to misunderstanding me.”
Hearing this, the lady inspector gave Samrat a strange look.
Samrat also felt a sharp pang inside. He realized that he often misunderstood Vaidehi… maybe that’s why she was so afraid of him.
But at the same time, another thought crossed his mind—
How could his delicate, innocent-looking wife do something like this to four boys?He had no idea that Vaidehi could be this strong… and this dangerous.
Just then, Sandy’s mother, Mrs. Arora, rushed in angrily and shouted,
“So you believed whatever she said? She must have done something, that’s why my son went to her! Who does this worthless girl think she is? I know girls like you very well!”
Saying this, she raised her hand to slap Vaidehi—
But the very next moment, Vaidehi caught her hand and twisted it in anger. Her grip was so strong that a cracking sound came from Mrs. Arora’s wrist, and she screamed in pain.
Seeing this, Vaidehi panicked. She immediately let go of her hand and covered her mouth, saying,
“I didn’t do it on purpose… it happened by mistake…”
The lady inspector was also shocked and stared at Vaidehi.
Just then, Gayatri quickly took out her phone and said,
“Inspector, please watch this video… you’ll understand everything about what they did to us.”
She showed the entire video to the inspector.
After watching it, the inspector’s anger shifted toward Sandy. It was clearly visible that he and his friends had misbehaved with the girls, and the girls had only reacted in self-defense.
Samrat was also stunned seeing all this. Now his anger toward Sandy had increased even more. The veins in his hands were visible—he wanted to finish him right then and there.
What will happen next?
Will the police believe Vaidehi and let her go?
What will Samrat do with Vaidehi now?
And what will happen when he realizes that Vaidehi is not just innocent-looking, but also strong and dangerous?
